GIANT Magazine Suspends Print and Launches GIANTLife.com

Interactive One’s Giant Magazine, has suspended its print edition to focus on its online presence. The magazine, which was purchased by Radio One in 2007, announced the news via a press release today. Tom Newman, President of Interactive One, states;

“The economic downturn has had a tremendous impact on print media and we had to make the decision to suspend printing the publication. Additionally we recognize the increase in demand for real time information and see this as an opportunity to leverage our existing robust online platform to better serve GIANT consumers and advertisers through our interactive medium.”

But this is not the end for the GIANT brand. The legendary magazine, most notably known for its creative photography, will launch GIANTLife.com. GIANTLife.com will deliver  celebrity profiles through its product, TheGIANTList, and will also be home of a new video series called Cover Stories hosted by Interactive One’s Chief Content Officer Smokey Fontaine. Cover Stories will debut featuring 12-time Grammy award winner Alicia Keys and forthcoming episodes will feature 50 Cent, supermodel Sessilee Lopez, LisaRaye and actress Paula Patton.
